Crystals have been used throughout history as adornments, for protection, divination or healing. The key to Crystals, by Sarah Bartlett discusses In 4000 B.C.E the ancient Sumerians believed that crystals were linked to planetary energy and that they reflected cosmic vibrations. Ancient Egyptians used crystals and gemstones for magical protection and to improve health. The color of the gems were particularly significant to the Egyptians. The red of jasper represented fire, life and blood; the green of malachite represented new growth and fertility. Some people have theorised that the Egyptian pyramids were once capped with crystals to channel cosmic forces down into geometric structures. (Bartlett 15).

Yet like everything in the universe, it is also infused with the divine force that permeates all. This electromagnetic force is the bridge between its resonance both to you and the Universe. Crystals are important for enhancing you and your environment, for protection, attraction, healing and divination. Modern day crystal healing is based off of traditional concepts in Asian culture, the Chinese concept of life-energy (chi or Qi) and the Hindu or Buddhist concept of chakras. Eastern spiritual traditions are composed of the belief of a universal energy, known as “prana” that flows through the body. This energy is composed of seven essential centers; Crown(above the head), Third eye(between the eyebrows), throat(center of neck), heart(center of chest), solar plexus(above the belly button), sacral(lower abdomen above genitals) and root(base of the spine). Chakras are vortices of life-energy, said to connect the physical and spiritual elements of the body. These energies constantly revolve or spiral around and through our bodies in a vertical direction vibrating at different frequencies. Each chakra corresponds to the energy of seven colors which are traditionally associated with the seven spiritual
The roots of the practice of acupuncture can be traced back to about 2000 years in Chinese medicine where it was used as a major traditional healing method (Cherry & Jacob, 2017). It is classified as an alternative medical system that involves the use of imperceptible networks/channels all through the body. Along with acupuncture, other forms of alternative medical systems include Ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy, and traditional Chinese medicine. These networks are referred to as meridians, by which energy streams through the body (Cherry & Jacob, 2017). The energy is referred to as Qi (pronounced “chee”). It is believed in traditional Chinese culture that Qi holds a dynamic life force, and when there an imbalance of this energy; illness as well as symptoms cultivates.
The four main chakras are the third eye, the heart, the throat, and the crown. The crown...
It’s hard to imagine that a mineral could be fueling wars and funding corrupt governments. This mineral can be smuggled undetected across countries in a coat pocket, then be sold for vast amounts of money. This mineral is used in power tools, parts of x-ray machines, and microchips but mostly jewelry. Once considered the ultimate symbol of love, the diamond has a darker story. "Blood" diamonds or "conflict" diamonds are those mined, polished, or traded in areas of the world where the rule of law does not exist. They often originate in war-torn countries like Liberia, Sierra Leone, Angola, and Côte d'Ivoire were rebels use these gems to fund genocide or other questionable objectives. Even with a system known as the Kimberly process which tracks diamonds to prevent trade of these illicit gems, infractions continue as the process is seriously flawed. The continuation of the blood diamond trade is inhuman, and unethical, and in order to cease this illicit trade further action to redefine a conflict diamond, as well as reform to the diamond certification prosess is nessasary.
The claim is that they are made to access the “fourteen meridians” of the body. It also makes mention of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the effects that has on the human body as opposed to modern medicine. Throughout the entirety of the Q-Ray website, there is no solid mention of what the bracelet actually contains that will aid in health and wellness. The company suggests that the bracelet has the same effect as acupuncture if worn correctly. Since there is no solid explanation of what the bracelet contains, the hypothesis that it will aid in all areas of the body’s wellbeing cannot be proved. There is not substantial scientific evidence to make the claims that it will access supposed meridians that allow the body to harness “natural energy.”

This world and the world of spirits are transformations of each other. At death a cotton mask - a "white cloud mask" - is placed on the face of a dead person. The spirits of the dead return to this world as kachinas. All kachinas are believed to take on cloud form of what Pueblo call "to be cloud people" and their spiritual essence, or navala, is a liquid that is manifested as rainfall. When the kachinas (as ritual figures) depart, they are petitioned, "When you return to your homes bring this message to them that, without delay, they may have mercy for us with their liquid essence [rain] so that all things may grow and life may be bountiful." Everything, in Pueblo belief, is dependent on rainfall, which, when combined with Mother Earth, is the essence of all things. Hence navala is also the essence of the individual self, conceived of as a liquid, and a Pueblo will say, "I have the liquid essence of my fathers," to express the English notion of being of the same flesh and blood.

A person's health is influenced by the flow of Qi in the body, in combination with the universal forces of Yin and Yang
For the past sixty-seven years, the citizens of India have embraced their country’s independence all the while seeking to regain their past.

The gold that was used to make jewelry in Egyptian times was not scarce like it is in present day. Mines between the Nile River and Red Sea coast yielded large quantities of this precious metal. They also imported precious stones from the Sinai Peninsula and even Afghanistan. The Egyptians, however, had no knowledge of the gemstones and jewels we have today, such as diamonds, emeralds, and rubies.
